Default 1997 XK8 Owner from Northern California

hi all,

I just received a 1997 XK8 that I inherited from my late mother who was the original owner.
Sapphire Blue and only 118K miles. Such a wonderful car and in great shape.
I plan to preserve it and keep it in the family for a long long time.

Currently live in the SF bay area about 15 minutes outside of NAPA County.
I work on computers for a living but love working on cars as a hobby.

thank you all for the wonderful information found within these Forums!

Congratulations on your new Jaguar, although I'm sorry for the circumstances in which you got it.
My condolences on the loss of your mother.

Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

Welcome to the forum KnightRider0070,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums. Sorry to hear the sad circumstances that led to receiving the XK8.

I can see you've already found your way to the XK8/XKR forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues.

Please add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US Western Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/western-us-ak-ca-nv-ut-hi-wa-id-38/
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
